Since we got into camp so late the night before, we had a lazy morning on Friday. We let the kids sleep in and have a little fun around the cabins before heading out for the day.
On our way to Rapid City, we stopped at this wood shop in Keystone. It was amazing! The kids especially enjoyed the huge chair and bears on the swings.
We made our way to the Dinosaur Park in Rapid City. It was so old and yet the kids loved it. We just parked and hiked our way up the stairs to the dinosaurs. Kimble even named each of them. My favorite was Chewy, named this because apparently that one chewed a lot of leaves. What a great, FREE, activity that was!
The time had come to visit Mount Rushmore! We were all asked to wear shirts with our current state name on them. We all put on our matching shirts and made our way the ten miles or so down the road. We were able to get a large group shot and individual family pictures in front of the monument. It was a little sad to see how many members of our family were not able to attend the reunion. Our visit included being part of the night lighting, so we hung around for a couple hours until the sun went down (what a feat that was to keep the kids entertained).
It was a beautiful sight to see the monument lit up. What a great reminder of the freedoms we enjoy being citizens of these United States.
